In addition, provision must be made for an award coefficient for tenders offering the minimum selling price.\n(6)\nIt is also important for the Hungarian intervention agency’s notification to the Commission to maintain the anonymity of the tenderers.\n(7)\nWith a view to modernising management, the information required by the Commission should be sent by electronic mail.\n(8)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
